Harry finishes school, he still has to wait one year for Ginny to finish
school so she can marry him and get pregnant before he dies. If Harry
married a girl his own age or older, they could get married as soon as Harry
finished school, and carry out the rest of the plot events in time to die on
his 18th birthday. Eggplant, have you ever considered fixing Harry up with
Cho instead of with Ginny?"

They could get married while both were still at Hogwarts. Harry get Ginny
pregnant when she is 16 and then marries her (does the honourable thing).

I do not really buy this idea. I see no way JKR could get away with killing
Harry - even at the end of the seventh book.
